Abstract:
Endoleak is a major complication of endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR). Type IIIb endoleaks, which are caused by endograft fabric disruption, are relatively rare. Although relining of the previously placed endograft with another main endograft is considered an ideal approach, it is sometimes difficult. The efficacy of parallel placement of Excluder legs has been reported in various settings. Here, we report the successful treatment of a type IIIb endoleak with parallel placement of Excluder legs during EVAR by using an AFX2 device.
